“My favorite place to grab a cup of coffee is Porto’s in Burbank. Their beverage and pastry selections are out of this world, and a cup of the red eye is an instant pick me up.”

“Kings Roads Cafe or a good cup of coffee on the water at Sea Level!”

Chef Dakota Weiss of Sweetfin

“Lately I have been loving Coffee for Sasquatch for many reasons. First and foremost, the coffee is really good, super smooth and well balanced. The location is close to my home and the space has a really zen and simple design. The name “Coffee for Sasquatch,” is truly amazing and their tip jars are funny and creative! Not to mention, the staff is pretty to look at and also very hospitable.”

“I love having coffee while I’m riding the Amtrak to Union Station. They have a cafe car that serves almost everything! And some days when I’m on my way to work and just desperately need a cup of coffee, I love to grab a coffee from Terra Mia.”

Mira Setiabudhi of Rinjani

“Believe it or not, Glendale is home to one of the best coffee bars I’ve ever been to – Regent Coffee. This place offers the standards we all expect at our local coffee bars, such as cold brew and pour over. Their mocha is made with milk chocolate from San Francisco that they turn into a chocolate ganache. It’s amazing!”

“My can’t-live-without-it morning coffee is actually a matcha latte with fresh nut milk, so when I’m not drinking one at Botanica, you’ll find me at Civil Coffee in Highland Park, where they have a lovely fresh almond-cashew milk.”—Heather

“When I can’t have my morning coffee at Botanica, I make a beeline to Trinity in Echo Park. Coffee Manufactory beans, gorgeous vessels and a vegetable-focused menu! Heaven.”—Emily

“[My] favorite place is Menotti’s in [my] home neighborhood of Venice. [I] just love the simple and really great coffee drinks, and the fact that it’s locally and family-owned makes a difference.”

Chef Kristina Miksyte of Doma Kitchen

“The day doesn’t start without a fresh cup of coffee from Deus Ex Machina in Venice. I enjoy the vibe at this café that keeps me fueled up for the long hours in the kitchen. My go to is a cafe latte with oat milk and a side of their Levain Toast.”

“I’m not a regular coffee drinker, but when I do need that extra kick Menotti’s Coffee in Venice Beach is hands down my favorite spot to grab coffee in LA. Their secret menu (which I guess is not so secret anymore) has one of my favorite drinks, Love Potion #9 a sweet-tart raspberry syrup, which joins espresso, chocolate ganache, sweetened condensed milk and steamed milk.”
